Dental Cleaning

Routine dental cleanings are important to keeping your oral health in good condition. A typical dental cleaning is performed by a hygienist and involves removing plaque and tartar, teeth polishing, x-rays, oral cancer screenings as well as evaluations for gum disease.

Teeth cleaning is a procedure for the removal of tartar (mineralized plaque) that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in routine toothbrushing. It is often done by a dental hygienist.

Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth.
